MSI Principal Investigator Len Kne and a team of graduate students in Geographical Information Science (GIS) have created an app that allows users to evaluate the solar potential of any given location in the state of Minnesota. The web-based app uses Lidar data and GIS technology. It was awarded first place in the Climate Resilience App Challenge at the 2014 Esri User Conference, which was held in July 2014 in San Diego, California.
